The information about the SODIS method, we located at
the following site: http://www.sodis.ch
This site also refers to extensive laboratory and field=20
tests conducted by EAWAG and its partners revealed that=20
synergies, induced by the combined application of=20
radiation and thermal treatment, have a significant=20
effect on the die-off rate of the microorganisms.=20
Hence, the best use of solar energy is, therefore,=20
the combined application of the two treatment processes.=20
Field tests also revealed that Vibrio cholerae are=20
effectively inactivated by solar water disinfection.

THE LIBERIAN POST announced the SODIS method=20
on newsgroups and at its internet site because it is a=20
very cost-efficient way for poor people to clean their water,=20
and before smart business people start selling expensive=20
bottles to make extreme profits on their account.

Hope this answers some possible questions.
